Textiles Recycling Bin

[pikeyed]

Hi. Does anyone know if there are any textile recycling bins nearby? I've searched on Google for options but not clear results and the recycling center doesn't have this. Have old used material that can't be resold.

There’s one outside North Dulwich station

Also one in the carpark of the plough pub, which you will have to verify your car reg to avoid a fine

You can take it to the hospice charity shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".

It's not for recycling but for good quality clothes. And sadly always overflowing onto the pavement. Appreciate your response.

Thanks for that. I did look on there but it wasn't terribly clear.

There is one opposite the petrol station/Tesco near the crossroads at Peckham Rye.

The one at the Plough is not for rags officially but the stuff that people leave is variable.

All Primarks have a textile recycling bin in the store. They take all textiles in whatever condition.

Thanks but assume would just go to landfill then if not good condition.

The one at The Plough is operated by a cult.

If there's something iffy with the organisation, how come The Plough has it in its car park?

Are they being paid shedloads of money to have the bin there?

Like most of us, I'm guessing they didn't look into thoroughly

Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
